ietf-nntp new draft of the NNTP spec released

[Jim Beebe]

Stan,

There is an inconsistency in the new draft spec.

Section 9.2 says:
            There are two forms to the ARTICLE command (and the related
            BODY, HEAD, and STAT commands)...  In the cases where the
            argument is a message-id, the article number specified in the
            response must be zero.

but in the examples, the response shows:
            Example of a successful retrieval of an article by message-id

                    [S] 200 NNTP Service Ready

                    [C] ARTICLE <45223423 at to.to>

                    [S] 220 3000234 <45223423 at to.to>

This is from 9.2.1.2, but 9.2.2.2, 9.2.3.2, and 9.2.4.2 are similar, with
the first response parameter showing a non-zero article number.
